INTRODUCTIONYour Quick Draw® II is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for avariety of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purposedetecting.

Before using your Quick Draw® II, it is important to read these instructions. Thismanual's description of detectionconcepts and types of metals isnecessary to avoid frustration ifyou are new to the hobby of metaldetecting.

TerminologyElimination — Reference to a metal or

target being "eliminated" means thatthe detector will not emit a tone norlight up an LCD indicator when anobject is in the coil’s detection field.

Discrimination — When thedetector emits different tones fordifferent types of metals, and whenthe detector "eliminates" certainmetals, we refer to this as thedetector "discriminating" amongdifferent types of objects.

Iron — Iron is a common, low-grademetal which is often an undesirabletarget. Examples of undesirable ironobjects are old cans, pipes, bolts,and nails.

Relic — A relic is an aged object ofhistorical significance. Note thatmany relics are made of iron, anotherwise undesirable object insome metal detecting applications.

Pull-tabs and Trash Items —Discarded pull-tabs from beveragecontainers are the most bothersomeitems for professional and hobbymetal detectorists. These items aregenerally constructed of aluminum,iron, or steel. We havetherefore incorporatedspecial features intothe Quick Draw® IIto eliminate thesetargets or to alertyou to their possiblepresence.

TURNING ON YOUR DETECTORTurn the left knob (SENSITIVITY) to the right. As the knob clicks to the "On"position, the detector sounds three beeps, the LCD arrows appearmomentarily, and the unit pre-sets to the DISC/ALL METAL Mode of operation.

SET THE MODE

1. ALL METALA. Press the DISC/ALL METAL touchpadB. Turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) to the left.

The unit will emit sound when passing over all types of metal objects.The ALL METAL Mode offers the greatest depth detection capability.

2. DISCRIMINATEA. Press the DISC/ALL METAL touchpad B. Slowly turn the right knob (DISC/NOTCH) clockwise.

As you turn the knob clockwise the detector will first eliminate smalliron objects such as nails. When rotated clockwise, large iron objects areeliminated, followed by trash items such as foil and aluminum.

3. NOTCHPress the NOTCH touchpad, and the detector will automatically reject iron.Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob clockwise for selective elimination of variousjunk items while still detecting nickels, silver and copper coins, and smallgold items. NOTCH eliminates medium tone trash items while stilldetecting valuable low and high tone metals. (audio tone ID is discussedlater).

4. AUTO NOTCH Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad, and the detector will automaticallyreject iron and most pull-tabs. Nickels and most small gold rings will beretained. The DISC/NOTCH knob creates a rejection "window" whichcan be moved as it is turned clockwise. With this mode, you can rejectscrew caps and zinc (post 1982) pennies as the DISC/NOTCH control isturned clockwise, but still detect valuables with low and high tones.

Note: If you are not sure of your current mode setting, simply press the desiredtouch-pad again.

LCD TARGET DISPLAYREADING THE DISPLAYThe Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) showsthe PROBABLE identification of thetargeted metal, as well as the PROBABLEdepth of the target, in inches.

Pass the searchcoil repeatedly over atarget, and observe the target readout.The detector will register a repeated,unchanging target identification when aburied target has been located andidentified. If, upon repeated passes overthe same spot, the target identificationreads inconsistently, the target is probablya trash item, or oxidized metal. Withpractice, you will learn to unearth only therepeatable signals.

The segment identifications are highlyaccurate, when detecting the objectsdescribed on the label. For example, ifyou pass the coil repeatedly over a nickel,your detector will repeatedly register anickel. However, if you repeatedly registera nickel, for an unknown buried object,you could be detecting some othermetallic object with the same magneticsignature as a nickel.

GOLD TARGETS Gold objects willregister on the left side of the LCD scale.

Gold flakes will register under Iron/FoilSmall gold items will register under PullTab.Medium-sized gold items will registerunder S-caps.Large gold items will register as Zinc 1¢.

SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects willregister to the right of the scale, under25¢, 50¢, or $1, depending on the sizeof the object. The larger the object, thefarther to the right it will register.

IRON/FOIL: All sizes of iron andaluminum objects will register on thefar-left side of the scale. This couldindicate a worthless item such as a nail,or a more valuable historic iron relic.

PULL-TAB: All older pull tabs frombeverage cans will register here. Mostnewer pull tabs will register here. Manygold rings will also register here.

S-CAPS: Older screw caps from glassbottles will register here. Large goldrings, like a class ring, could also registerhere. Some non-U.S. coins of recentvintage will also register here.

1¢ ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982)will register here. Many non-U.S. coinsof recent vintage will also register here.

10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies willregister here. Older, pre-1982, penniesare composed of copper, which has ametallic signature similar to a dime.

Caution: The target indications arevisual references. Many other types ofmetal can fall under any one of thesecategories. You will experience atrash-to-treasure ratio when treasurehunting. The more you practice, thelower you will push your trash-to-treasure ratio. While the Quick Draw® IIwill eliminate or indicate the presenceof most common trash items, it isimpossible to accurately classify ALLburied objects. The LCD provides avisual reference to minimize thedetection of trash objects. By using theTarget-ID in conjunction withdiscrimination control and the three-tone audio identification system(discussed later), you can furtherreduce the trash-to-treasure ratio.

BATTERY & DEPTH INDICATORSThe LOW BATT indicator will flash asthe unit is powered on. If the indicatorcomes on and stays on, replace thebatteries.

DEPTH INDICATOR:The Depth Indicator is accurate forcoin-sized objects. It indicates thedepth of the target, in inches. Largeand irregularly-shaped objects willyield less reliable depth readings

When passing over an object, thedepth indicator will light up and stayilluminated until another object isscanned. Pass repeatedly over the

suspected target and pause briefly atthe end of each sweep to read yourdisplay. Repeated indication at thesame depth level indicates an accuratetarget detector. If the depth indicationvaries with each sweep, try sweepingat different angles; there may be morethan one target present. With practice,you will learn the difference betweenaccurate readings, multiple targets,and highly erratic readings whichevidence trash or irregularly shapedobjects.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The principle use for the SENSITIVITYknob is to eliminateELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE(EMI). EMI is both naturally-occurringand man-made. Common sources ofEMI are power lines, both suspendedand buried, and broadcastingantennas. Machinery, when inoperation, can also produce EMI.

EMI comes from most householdappliances, so YOUR DETECTORCAN BEHAVE VERY ERRATICALLYINDOORS. If you want to test itindoors, turn off the TV andmicrowave. If you have lights with

dimmer switches, also turn these off;dimmer switches can produce lots ofEMI.

If your detector chatters with theSENSITIVITY knob in the 100%clockwise position, reduce thesensitivity until the chatter stops(usually to the 1:00 or 3:00 position).

If you suspect the presence of deepertargets underneath a shallower target,reduce the SENSITIVITY to eliminatethe detection of the deeper target toproperly locate and identify theshallower target.

USING HEADPHONESUsing headphones (not included) improves battery life, and prevents thesounds from annoying bystanders.It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly,particularly if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not useheadphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device isto be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than threemeters

Page 11: OWNER’S MANUAL · LCD TARGET DISPLAY READING THE DISPLAY The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the PROBABLE identification of the targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth

ALL METAL MODE:

There are two ways to enter the ALLMETAL Mode.1) Turn the right knob (Disc/Notch) left

to the furthest counterclockwiseposition. Then Press the Disc/AllMetal touch pad.or

2) Turn the right knob (Disc/Notch) leftto the furthest counterclockwiseposition. Then turn the detector on.(The detector always defaults tothe Disc/All Metal Mode when firstpowered on).

DISCRIMINATION MODE:To enter DISCRIMINATION Mode,1) Press the Disc/All Metal touch pad,

and2) Turn the Disc/Notch control knob

clockwise past the “Disc”indication.In the DISCRIMINATION Mode, thedetector will emit three distincttones, depending on the type ofmetal detected.As you turn the Disc Knob

clockwise, you will progressively“discriminate out,” or eliminatefrom detection, different types ofmetals.Refer to the illustration below as areference for the levels required todiscriminate out different objects.

The DISCRIMINATION Mode is a fixed-start-point system. As you turn theknob to the right, more objects areprogressively eliminated, including theitems to the left. UseDISCRIMINATION for coin-shootingand detecting in trashy areas.

NOTCH MODE:

To enter NOTCH Mode, press theNotch touch pad.In NOTCH Mode, iron is automaticallyeliminated.NOTCH then gives the user a variablerejection window. In this mode, youcan eliminate items in the middle of

MODES OF OPERATIONthe metallic spectrum, but still detectitems to the left of the scale, asfollows:

NOTCH is most useful to “notch out”specific unwanted items. If youencounter certain bothersome trashitems, program their rejection intoyour detector as follows:1) Turn the Disc/Notch knob 100%

counterclockwise.2) Pass the undesirable object under

the searchcoil.3) Turn the Disc/Notch knob slowly

clockwise until the object is nolonger detected.

Use the NOTCH Mode for coin-shooting,jewelry hunting, or for your owncustomized hunt.

AUTO NOTCH MODE

To enter the AUTO NOTCH Mode,press the Auto Notch touch pad. InAUTO NOTCH Mode, iron, most pulltabs, and screw caps areautomatically eliminated.

In addition, you can turn the Disc/Notchcontrol to selectively eliminate moreitems beyond the pre-programmedones. The Disc/Notch control operatesin this mode in the same manner asoutlined in the NOTCH Modeinstructions, except that AUTO NOTCHdoes not eliminate the more valuablenickels.Use AUTO NOTCH for press-and-gotreasure hunting in applications likecoin-shooting, and jewelry hunting.

AUDIO TARGET-IDDepending on the operating modeand Disc/Notch control setting, theQuick Draw® II emits three distincttones which classify metal objects intocategories.

IRON & STEEL:In the DISCRIMINATION Mode mostiron and steel objects will induce a lowtone. Highly oxidized iron can induce ahigh tone, depending on theDisc/Notch control setting. Forinstance, some rusted bottle caps willinduce a high tone and indicate to theright of the LCD target display.

GOLD:Gold objects will induce a low ormedium tone, depending on theirsizes. Very small gold objects willindicate on the left-most segment.Large gold objects will read under theZinc segment. If you are goldprospecting, you will usually belooking for natural gold in an areawhich it does not contain much trash,and can therefore ignore the specificsegment descriptions.

PULL-TABS:Pull tabs are the most bothersometrash items for detectorist. Most willinduce a medium tone. Most will beeliminated automatically in the AUTONOTCH Mode, or alternatively bemanually “notched out” in NOTCHMode with the Disc/Notch control. Theolder pull tabs (those not attached tothe can after opening) are sometimesbroken in half; these broken tabs caninduce low tones. Highly oxidized pulltabs can also induce high tones.

It can be very difficult to differentiatepull tabs from gold rings. When theyboth induce medium tones, you mightnotice a “double beep” from a goldring but a “single beep” from pull tabs.To achieve this distinction, sweep thesearchcoil very slowly, and at differentangles. Two tones might signal as thedetector passes over each side of theround ring.

COPPER, SILVER & BRASS:Most valuable coins are composed ofthese metals and will usually induce ahigh tone. Valuable objects other thancoinage can also be composed ofcopper, silver and brass.

Audio Target Identification (ATI) classifies metals into three categories.

LOW TONE

Nails & Bottle Caps,Gold & Nickel

MEDIUM TONE

Old & New Pull-Tabs, ZincPennies (Post-1982)

HIGH TONE

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES

When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”,as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practiceand is best accomplished by“X-ing” the target area.

1. Once a buried target is indicatedby a good tone response,continue sweeping the coil overthe target in a narrowingside-to-side pattern.

2. Take visual note of the place onthe ground where the “beep”sounds.

3. Stop the coil directly over thisspot on the ground.

4. Now move the coil straightforward and straight backtowards you a couple of times.

5. Again make visual note of thespot on the ground at whichthe “beep” sounds.

6. If needed, “X” the target atdifferent angles to “zero in” onthe exact spot on the ground atwhich the “beep” sounds.

COIL MOVEMENT

When swinging the coil, becareful to keep it level with theground about one inch from thesurface. Never swing the coil likea pendulum.

WRONG

Thecoilshouldbe swungin ahalf-circlemovementasillustratedhere.Repeat thismotionevery stepyou take toguarantee thatthe area is beingcovered thoroughly.

Page 15: OWNER’S MANUAL · LCD TARGET DISPLAY READING THE DISPLAY The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the PROBABLE identification of the targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth

15

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUESAfter selecting your operating mode,swing the searchcoil gently side-to-side, slightly overlapping each sweepas you move forward. Make sure youkeep your searchcoil approximately 1inch above the ground as you search.Raising it in the sweep, or at the endsof your sweep, will cause false read-ings. Move slowly; hurrying will onlycause you to miss targets.

Most good objects will respondwith a good repeatable signal.

If a signal does notrepeat after swingingthe coil directly over

the suspected target afew times, it is more

than likely trashmetal. False signals

can be caused bytrashy ground,

electricalinterference,

or by largeirregular

trash

objects. These signals are easilyrecognized by their often broken ornon-repeatable nature.

The Quick Draw® II is a very sensi-tive and deep-seeking detector. Itwill respond loudly to manytargets that other detectors wouldonly detect with a weak signal. Be-cause of this, trash-induced signalsand other sources of interferencemay cause signals that seem con-fusing. The key to managing thesefalse signals is to dig only those tar-gets that emit a strong repeatablesignal. As you sweep thesearchcoil back and forth over theground, learn to recognize the dif-ference between the signals thatoccur at random and signals thatare stable and repeatable.

When searching very trashyground, it is best to scan smallareas with slow, short overlappingsweeps. To prevent erratic signalsand difficult pinpointing in trashyareas, consider purchasing theBounty Hunter 4-Inch GoldNugget Coil System.

METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONSCOINSHOOTING:

The most popular metal detecting application. When coinshooting, youwant to discriminate out pull tabs, screw caps, and iron objects. Bewarethat highly oxidized steel may also be detected.

Control settings required.1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touch pad.2) Turn the Disc/Notch Knob to the 3:00 position.

RELIC HUNTING:A relic is a historical object, sometimes of great value. Relics can be foundin abandoned homes, plowed fields or even your own backyard. Researchthe local library to learn of historical events or places in the area. You canthen target your search to a specific area and gain valuable insight into yourlocal history.

Control settings required.1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touchpad.2) Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob 100% counterclockwise.

Many relics are iron, so you do not want to discriminate.

CACHE HUNTING:A cache, pronounced “cash” is a buried or hidden valuable stored inside acase, strong box, or bag. A cache can be hidden in the floor or walls of ahouse, or buried nearby. Operate in the ALL METAL Mode.

Control settings required.1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touchpad.2) Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob 100% counterclockwise.

JEWELRY HUNTING:Jewelry can be found wherever people congregate. Beaches, parks, schoolyards and fair grounds are all littered with lost jewelry. Your greatestchallenge is the interference from pull tabs and cans. You must use aDiscrimination Mode: AUTO NOTCH is best.

Control settings required.1) Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad.2) Set Disc/Notch knob at 2:00. Dig only the repeatable low and hightones, avoid the broken or non-repeatable tones.

OTHER APPLICATIONS:Use your Quick Draw® II to find property markers, machine parts, and lostkeys. Keep your detector in ALL METAL Mode for these tasks.Gold prospecting also requires the ALL METAL Mode.
